Abstract:

The “Beautiful Cryosphere” (BC) is the extension and application of the concept of a “Beautiful China” in the cryosphere. It is a synthesis of natural beauty, service beauty, and harmonious beauty, and a dialectical unity of benefits and harms. The concept of the BC is re-explained in the text by reviewing and re-interpreting the connotation of the BC, analyzing the relationship between the BC and “Beautiful China”. On this basis, the origin and development course of the BC are analyzed from the two main lines of the systematization of cryosphere science and the construction of a Beautiful China and its researches, from the discipline and social perspectives. The two levels of research content within the BC are further analyzed. Driven by advances in understanding, national needs, and scientific research projects over the past 20 years. The evolution of the BC research content includes three phases: an exploration stage from 2007 to 2015, the stage of expansion and summary between 2015 and 2020, and comprehensive deepening stage from 2020 to the present.

Key words: Beautiful Cryosphere, Cryoshere science system, Cryoshere services, Cryoshere disaster risk, Beautiful China
